Iet me start by saying that if you are planning to buy this item you are making a good choice.i bought these a few month ago and there awesome .These speakers don't pick the pc it's the pc that pick them(to be exact it's the program) but this is not entirely true either. Let me explain. The speakers have a head phones plug that plugs into the hole for the head seat so that the sound can trave to it but it gets the power from a different sources (usb)I don't use the usb from my laptop for power I use an iplug (the square that changes your phone) so I'm sure that the speakers will work fine for you unless there is a malfunction or bad product Iet me start by saying that if you are planning to buy this item you are making a good choice.i bought these a few month ago and there awesome .These speakers don't pick the pc it's the pc that pick them(to be exact it's the program) but this is not entirely true either.

I have them hooked up to my mac book air, so I would think they would work fine.

Hi Nick, I'm not sure, but as long as it has a speaker jack they should work. Hope that helps!

I am having the same problem with my macbook pro! Whether I plug in these speakers or not (use the ones already on my laptop) there is no difference in sound at all! I came on here for the same reason, to find out if anyone knows what to do about this.

I imagine so. I work on a MacBook and run OS 10.6.8. The speakers require both the standard USB port and the headphone port to operate. They have amazing sound quality for the price. I'm very pleased with them.

I never used a Mac, but if your mac has a PCI-E slot, I think it will work. Maybe you can find some video cards compatibility guide for your Mac Pro.

Hi sorry I used this memory on a 2.1 mac pro and it worked fine I don't know about if its comparable with your motherboard.

I only use Mac's for working on Audio. Check M-audio website, to see if it's compatible.

I think they will. I use 'em with my MacBook Pro 15", and I cart it around with me while I'm doing chores - kitchen, bathroom while I shower, bedroom while I get ready for work, etc. I'm usually either listening to podcasts or watching Netflix while doing this stuff, and I don't have the volume up that high, and I can hear everything just fine. I work in a loud warehouse environment, and I took these to work with me one day to see how they'd fare hooked up to my mobile workstation, and again, I didn't have them turned all the way up, and I could hear my music just fine on Pandora and Spotify.

Yes, these speakers will fit your system. But it sound like to me that your volume isn't being optimized or you're having an issue with an audio driver.

I don't think they were meant for it, but I do know there is speaker wire that goes into a 3.5mm that the klipsch pro series uses, i don't know if you could use that to plug right in or not, and that would depend on how many connections your computer has

You would need to go from your mac into a power amp or a stereo and then into the speakers.You can buy some inexpensive amps that would work great from http://www.parts-express.com/These speakers are great everyone who has heard them are blown away by how good they sound.

I don't think so. Your Mac Pro requires ECC memory DDR2 is my understanding. This misses the mark on all counts. To be sure see this site. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/faq/mac-pro-how-to-upgrade-memory-what-type-ram.html

I never was able to get it to work at all. It has been a while, but if I remember correct, tech support wasn't much help either. These worked with the old macbook pro powerpc chips, not so much with the new intel macs. I never found anything that was a sure bet with the new macs, so I gave up trying.

They sound good beside an iMac, so I assume if you balance them correctly, they'll sound good on one too.

They come with a 3.5mm plug to plug into the audio jack in the computer and a USB plug for the power. I've never had a Mac so I don't know what they come with. But if you have these two jacks on your Mac it should work. After seeing the other post I disagree. I think my music sounds great. The separation is great. You can hear the stereo from each individual speaker.

Be warned!If you use this speakers with a Macbook Pro AND you are connecting the MBP to an external monitor via either DVI or VGA, you are going to get a whining sound from the satellites. See this thread for full details: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3533245 but its a flaw with Macbooks and grounding of the eclectrical signals.Unfortunately this means i need to return this set of speakers and go for the wireless ones (newer version of the same speakers but connected wirelessly via USB) since the issue seems to be because i am connecting my Klipsch to the macbook with the Analog 3.5 mm connection.

They work just fine with my MacBook Pro. The sound is good, but not as loud as my previous speakers (can't remember the name).

Hello Barbara, they will if the MacBookPro has a 3.5 earphone inlet. The procedure is to plug in the supplied adapter cord into the Phiaton unit, then to the MacBookPro etc.
